Kagami cutie: Hi just call me whatever you want, I don't care.
I'm really really sad. I was reading a story, but I can't remember the name, let's just say someone died and the story got so sad i felt like crying.
So I was inspired to write this.
Enjoy!

"WHY DOWE HAVE TO WORK AT A HOSPITAL!?" Mikuo yelled.
"Calm down Mikuo!" I shouted.
"But Len! We'll have to give people sponge baths and see BLOOD," Mikuo wined
"so? Big deal as long as we don't get a fat hairy guy," I reassured.
"What do you care?! You have a GIRL, I'm stuck with some 5-year old named Oliver!"
"Shut up, we're here," I said, hoping not to lose another job thanks to big mouth over here.
"Len? Mikuo?" a woman asked us.
"Hi, I'm sweet ann! Here are your uniforms. Len, your patient –Rin- is in room 301 and Mikuo, you have room 308. Good luck!" she said.
"Uh huh, look what we gotta wear! we'll look like nerdy scientists!" Mikuo complained.
"big deal!" I shouted, annoyed.
I left Mikuo and went to the room, hopeful that he won't just barge into every room until he found that Oliver kid.
Let's see… oh it's the first room!
I didn't bother knocking, and walked in.
I saw a pale girl, with shoulder-length blonde hair. She looked like she was never touched by the light of day.
"Hello, I'm your…uh nurse I guess," the word 'nurse' made me feel like I should have been a girl.
"Hi," she said.
"So let's see what's wron- I mean, what your condition is," I looked a clipboard at the end of the bed.
"I have a disease, it's incurable. No nurse stays for more than a week or two. They always give up. The disease causes amnesia at times, other's leave me on the brink of death. I'm surprised I'm alive, to tell the truth," she said simply.
"Oh, I'm sorry,"I said.
"It doesn't matter, I've been here for 6 years. Life to me is just a joke and death is it's punch line," she said sadly.
"you shouldn't talk like that, I'm here to help you get through this," and now I'm determined to do so.
"Good luck, bet you'll leave in a few days! Your younger than the other nurses. Haha! Let me guess, you need the money to keep your family fed, while your mother and father spend their whole day working, leaving the youngest kid all alone, still at the house!"
Does this girl… read minds?
It's all true, I left my little sister Yuki all alone, but Neru said she'd be over as soon as she can to take care of her… she'll be fine.
"It's true isn't it? Your eyes tell it all," she said.
"Your one strange kid," I said.
"I'm not really, they told me all about you before you came here!" she giggled, "I'm just messing with you!"
So she likes to play tricks, I wrote that down. For later use.
I heard after a week they test you on your patient, seeing what you know.
"So Len-kun, mind doing me a favor?" she asked.
"Sure?" I said and asked.
"Let's play a game! Close your eyes and count to ten, then say what pops into your head when you open them!"
"Ok…1….2…3…4…..5…..6…7.8…9….10!" I opened my eyes. "Where did you go?"
I looked around in panic. I lost my patient on the first day! I was running around the hospital all day, finally seeing threw her in the corner of my eye. She was outside, walking on the wall of the fence, that kept her in and strangers out.
When I got to her she was singing a song… she was so strange!
I wrote down that she liked to sing.
Hey, let's someday….
Back alley where the light doesn't reach
That's our world.
I don't remember our parent's face.
But you were there.
That bread we stole
With our tattered bodies,
Was so delicious.
I couldn't stop smiling!
We sleep next to each other
On the cardboard...
People look at us pitifully
But even we dream
The old ball dancing poster always on the street lamp
I compare their clothes to mine
And would feel heartache everytime
You stopped and held my hand
And said…
'Someday we'll hold hands like this
Let's dance on a stage!'
Seasons pass 12 months
Streets filled with colors
The view from the back alley…
Gives me warmth
But winter is harsh
Hunger and coldness
And the girl said
'I'll die soon'
I want to eat something warm.
I wanted to sleep on a soft blanket
I know I've been wanting a lot
But if you could please fulfill this last request!
Ina state of haziness
I took your hand and ran
sounds from the background
warmth of your hand; I can't feel them anymore
I kept running into people
And almost fell many times, hoping I won't be late
Please let me keep the promise
…even if the end comes
Our destination- the winter sea
You shyly took my hand
And slowly started to dance
The last dance has nothing to do
With music
Continues on till death
I kept tripping
Over unfamiliar steps
My eyes filled up with tears for the first time
Hey…someday
Do you think we can come here again?
Then I'll be better
I'll wear prettier clothes
Let's dance
One more time
The winter sky begins to snow
As if announcing the end
It seems like
The pieces of our dreams are falling
They are disappearing in the sea
I can feel the last moment
I look to the side and saw you
Gathering snow and laughing
I want to eat
The stolen bread once more!
But I can't now
Thank you for all you've done…
Sorry everything's disappearing into the darkness
"But I didn't actually die then you see, I ended up here. And I don't know where my brother is anymore, little to less how I got here. I wanted to get better and hurry back to where we danced. They said they didn't know where he was and wouldn't let me leave. And now I barely remember his face, just the taste of the bread and poster," Rin said. "Well that's my story, thought I'd tell you since I knew yours,"
She smiled.
How can she still smile?
Suddenly she let out a coughing fit.
"We should go back…. inside, before… they find out your… gone," I said, trying to talk between her coughs. "I'll help you down,"
"I don't need your pity," she said, jumping down.
I wrote down a bunch of stuff then looked at my notes.
Likes to play tricks
Likes to sing.
Likes the taste of.. stolen bread?
Likes to sing
Likes to climb on fences.
Likes to dance.
Wants to go to the ball?
Wants to find her brother.
orphan
Almost died.
Sad past
I felt bad, she almost died. I want to defiantly help her now. Nothings changing my mind.
I went back inside, finding her on her bed again, flipping through the Tv channels.
"I won't be talking to you anymore," she said.
"Why?" I asked.
…
"Oh…" I looked at the show she chose.
Likes the evil series, movie
"Len! Buddy! Let's trade patients please!" Mikuo pleaded, rushing into the room. "woah… she's a cutie! Argh! You scored!"
"Uh… thanks? To bad she won't talk to me anymore," I said, slightly irritated.
"Why!? Did you go perv on her or something?" he asked.
"In your nasty dreams," I said, disgusted.
"So…Rin right? Why's a cutie like you in the hospital?"
Great, classic Mikuo hitting on the first girl he finds!
"Stop hitting on her!" I yelled, pointing an accusing finger at Mikuo.
"Ooh, I gotta go! Lenny is getting jealous!" Mikuo said, running out of the room.
"Don't mind him, he needs to be in a mental hospital," I sighed.
She nodded in agreement.
I laughed.
I sat down and read a book.
I heard some shuffling, and looked up to see Rin crawling out the window.
"Are you crazy?! You-you'll fall from a 3 story height!" I said.
She went down anyway.
"Rin!" I looked out the window, she was slideling down the side of the gutter.
This won't be easy.
